My Top 20 used Programs

In Death Metal it´s nessisary if you wan´t to know what thay are singing about hehe

Learn the lyrics and sing along, great if you listen to rock.

Understandable I guess, I used to listen to a lot of metal, half time you cant make them out at all!

Ever listened to Cannibal Corpse? There are tracks that you can simply don't understand, even with reading lyrics with it. There are bands that I like because of their lyrics and there are bands that I like because of their music, and there's a combination of it, like In Flames. Knowing the lyrics can be disappointing or attracting, but I prefer to read them at least once, so I get a clue on what the song is trying to tell.

I agree, I was listening to Napalm Death and haven´t done that in years and thay have some really good lyrics.

You can´t understand a word Cannibal corpse are singing about but you know it´s some gore thing hehe

Cannibal Corpse arn't too bad, listen to Anal Cunt (colour changed because the band name might offend ). Their songs are reallyhard to understand, but one or two are quite funny if you read the lyrics.

Anyway, on topic... Total Commander users should switch to Directory Opus.

Hmm, I'm going to have to try The Gimp again. I learnt image manipulation etc. in The Gimp before I touched Photoshop, but I doubt it has all the features I'm become used to in Photoshop now. I have a feeling that Photoshop 7 running in WINE may even be more feature fall then The Gimp.

[balder 1]

I agree photoshop genrally has more features then gimp. but i dont do that much graphics and it has enough functionality for me

The patterns used for overwriting are based on Peter Gutmann's paper "Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory" and they are selected to effectively remove magnetic remnants from the hard drive.

The list reads as the list of someone who has actively looked for alternatives to any application with limitations. You should try Directory Opus sometime, it's a replacement for the really quite limited explorer. You may find it's the most powerful and customizable application you'll ever use, and will allow you to intergrate the use of some of these programs into it. :thumbsup:
